Caleb was born on March 1, at 11:15 a.m. and was 7lbs, 7 oz and 19\u201d long (only 29 inches away from the elusive 48\u201d at DisneyWorld! ha!)<\/p>\n
He had a little problem expelling all of the fluid from the lungs, his color wasn\u2019t great, and his respirations were a little fast as well, so off to the NICU he went (just the one in the hospital, no transfer this time to another hospital). \u00a0He hung out there most the day and as of 8 pm that night, he had been released on \u201cprobation\u201d to the regular nursery. If he behaved he could stay there, if not, he would be sent back to the NICU. We\u2019ll he behaved and has been fine ever since.\u00a0 Photos are here<\/a> and here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Jennifer<\/strong> continues to work for herself through the Early Steps system (as a Special Instructor for 0 to 3 year olds with developmental delays) and she is going back to school in January to work towards an early intervention certification degree.\u00a0 Jennifer also was re-certified in Child Life in July, which was no easy feat.<\/p>\n This Fall Caden<\/strong> started preschool at the Lincoln Parish Early Childhood Center. The first day Jennifer and I took him to school he announced on the way there that \u201cI\u2019m a big boy and do not need you to walk me into my new school.\u201d We encouraged this by parking, both getting out and marching him to his classroom, ha!\u00a0 Of course the second day, I abided by the request (again) and allowed him to go into school all by himself, ha!<\/p>\n A few funny quotes from this year from Caden:<\/strong><\/p>\n Caden: \u201cMommy, did you tell daddy?\u201d Mommy: \u201cCaden, why didn\u2019t you get a sticker today?\u201d Caden came into the living room tonight after supper and said \u201cI sure would like dessert now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGirls use a brush and boys use their hands\u201d [in reference to how boys and girls fix their hair]<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to sleep ever!\u201d<\/p>\n Caleb<\/strong> is doing great, he is at the early stages of crawling as of this weekend. He crawls about 3 steps forward, then back, then sits down. \u00a0He really loves Caden (and Caden loves him just as much). He is always reaching for Caden and gets excited when he sees him.<\/p>\n Caleb will get to go on his first Disney trip next year! We are all looking forward to it!<\/p>\n We hope you and your family are doing great! \u00a0Drop us an email or comment and let us know how you\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Bonus!<\/strong> Watch Caden tell the storys of The Three Little Bears!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a year!\u00a0 It has been a good one but a really, really busy one for the Breedings! The most exciting news of this year was the birth of Baby Y (aka Caleb Gene Breeding).

So if having a new baby wasn\u2019t life changing<\/a> enough, Neal<\/strong> took a new job with Donnie Bell Design<\/a> on April 11, 2011 as a web programmer, leaving his job as the Director of Information Systems for the Division of University Advancement at Louisiana Tech University (aka – the computer guy at the alumni center).\u00a0 It was time for a change and he enjoyed the almost 15 years he had at Tech.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.nealbreeding.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_3589-300x300.jpg\" "\\"IMG_3589\\"")
